2. DALI Light Controller - surface mounting - Market Requirements
Customer‘s needs for decentralized installation KNX environments
The existing surface mounting range as RC/A (Room Controller) and AE/A (Analogue Input) has found great acceptance in the market
The main installation location is the false ceiling and wall mounting
Features like flexibility, extendibility, robust technology (IP 54), flat design, quick and simple installation are significant marketing features for surface mounting range
Missed are a KNX DALI surface mounting device to link KNX with small DALI areas used e.g. in 1 or 4 office rooms
